Volunteering is a great way to help people and make the world a better place. There are many types of volunteer work, and everyone can find something they enjoy.
Community Service:
You can clean parks, help at food banks, or visit elderly people in nursing homes. These activities make communities stronger and bring happiness to those in need.
Education:
In some villages, children don’t have enough teachers. Volunteers can teach subjects like English, math, or art. Even helping with homework can make a big difference.
Environmental Protection:
Planting trees, cleaning rivers, and recycling are ways to protect the environment. For example, volunteers in Shenyang planted 1,000 trees last year, and now the area is greener and healthier.

When natural disasters like earthquakes or floods happen, volunteers help rescue people, give out food and water, and provide comfort to those who are scared or hurt.
